How many Saviours are there? We saw so many killed in the first 7 episodes and it's like they brought a reserve army for the midseason finale. It's like they are just throwing stuff up against the wall and don't even care if the story makes any sense as it's all about the end game for them which is getting you to tune in for the commercials to appease their advertisers.
It's pretty obvious that this show is the golden goose for AMC and they are treating it like a money maker which has sapped all the creativity and story. It's all about making as many episodes as possible of filler to keep selling all that advertising time and leaving all the story progression to the last episode of the half seasons. If it wasn't for PVR's I don't know if I could sit through an entire episode as there's just so many commercials it feels like the show is a sham to get you to watch advertisements. Ratings dropping could be a good thing for this show as they need to get back to basics.

I actually thought the PVR cut off the beginning of the episode and had to go double check since it really seemed to be missing a whole episode between 7 and 8!
